"Do you turn all your molehills into insurmountable mountains? Does worrying keep you up at night -- eroding your self-confidence, paralyzing your ability to make decisions, or harming your physical health? It is normal to worry sometimes, but 'catastrophic' worry can have profund, negative impact on your life, relationships, and well-being. So, how can you put an end to this 'worst-case' habit? In this worry-busting guide, worry expert Graham Davey explains the science of why we worry, and offers tools to help you stop catastrophizing for good. You'll learn where your worry comes from, and discover practical tips for soothing anxiety. You'll also find exercises to help you establish healthy lifestyle habits, manage your mood, and make decisions --without ruminating about every possible outcome. If you're tired of worry getting in the way of your happiness, this book will help you move beyond the 'what-ifs,' so you can start enjoying life again." --Back cover.
